Paella catering for Eversley events
Paella catering in Eversley, made fresh on the day
Keep it simple, or go all out: paella on its own, or with canapés, table tapas, desserts and sangria. We will recommend what fits your event. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and birthday celebrations, we can cook seafood paella, vegan paella and mixed paella for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Eversley, a garden or field is often the venue. Country lanes and long drives are no problem if we know about them, and cooking close to where we can park helps. Every pan is cooked in front of your guests, so the food is hot, fresh and part of the occasion.
Where we can cook in Eversley
Most gardens and venues can host live paella, but there are a few things to check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.

We cover all 35 towns and villages across Wokingham. We cook right across the region, from Eversley to Reading (7 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Thinking of a picnic-style party in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve? Public parks generally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The menu, dish by dish
Seafood paella
A rich seafood stock with prawns, mussels and squid, cooked until the rice is golden. It is the pan people photograph.
Vegetable and vegan paella
The vegetable pan is a dish in its own right: peppers, artichokes and beans with saffron, cooked in its own pan.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The paellas you choose

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Evenings in Eversley stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get a menu and an itemised quote.
- We agree timings, access and the cooking spot.
- On the day, we set up and cook in front of your guests.
- It’s served straight from the pan, and we clear our area afterwards.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and the food sits out. Paella is cooked in front of your guests and served hot. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
Why book with us
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- No hidden extras in your quote
- Catering across Wokingham, including Eversley

Eversley questions
How far is Eversley from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Eversley is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
